I love mine! My phd advisor gave it to my wife and I as a wedding gift with a note that said "For cooking and resolving marital disputes."

Do you love it for cooking or for resolving your marital disputes?

So far, only cooking. Marriage has been pretty easy on us. The thing is damn sharp though...

I have a wusthof pro and pretty good. Sturdy, easy to use, and can hold a decent edge.

Indeed. I've used my Wusthof Classic 9" professionally and then at home for ... dang ... 31 years.

Have had my Wusthof Classic for the past 5 or so years and love it. Great all rounder knife that feels solid.

I'll also recommend Wusthof, although I prefer the Ikon to the Classic, mostly due to the handle.

Fantastic knives. Beautiful, heavy duty, hold an edge. I have an 8 inch and a 5 inch, 90% of the time I use the small one for prep, but the big one is Just needed sometimes; and for chicken bones at least you can basically use it as a cleaver.

Very happy with my wüsthof too! Also, OP, get yourself a knife sharpening stick or stone and learn how to maintain your knifes. you can "practice" on your cheaper knifes too

Project Farm did a review of various knife sharpeners, and recommends the Lansky style system.

the best one is one you can handle. personally I get really good results with a sharpening block, my SO can handle a sharpening stick like noone I've ever seen 🤷
